Donald Trump does his Reddit AMA in the most Donald Trump way possibleMashable28 Jul 2016 | 1:40 amRepublican Party nominee for president of the U.S., Donald J. Trump, made good on his promise and held a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) session late Wednesday. And while many thought this would be a disaster, Trump and his supporters on Reddit managed to turn the normally open concept of the AMA interview into a very on-message experience. Trump played this one smart. Instead of doing the AMA — basically an open-ended interview, where the Reddit community asks the questions — on Reddit's IAmA subreddit, he did it on the pro-Trump subreddit The_Donald.

Streaker to spend a week in jail for world's greatest nude run28 Jul 2016 | 1:13 amAn Australian man has been sentenced to a week in jail after a naked streak attempt at a Sri Lankan cricket ground went a little soggy. When rain delayed the first day of the Test cricket match between Sri Lanka and Australia, the man decided what better way to pass the time than to ditch his clothing prison and stride naked across the covered cricket pitch. His running was somewhat limited however, because plastic becomes slippery when wet and the man's romp looked more like a baby giraffe learning to walk moments after being shot out into the world. According to The Australian, locals reported that charges were pushed for by a senior Buddhist monk. Read more...More about Nude, Streak, Cricket,...

How Canada's Philanthropic Pop Industrial Complex Took Over The World27 Jul 2016 | 3:00 amWhile U.S. musicians struggle to get by, a vast system of government grants keeps the Canadian music scene pumping out the hits. And it turns out, a vibrant music scene is a very good thing for a country to have.Six years ago, Abel Tesfaye was just another musician making mixtapes and distributing songs for free on YouTube. Then Drake tweeted about him, fans went nuts, and—as the rock lore so often goes—he ascended from virtually nowhere to claim the celebrity throne. In February, Tesfaye—now far better known by his stage name, The Weeknd—was nominated for five Grammies and won two, including best R&B song for "Earned It," originally written for the movie Fifty Shades of Grey, and best R&B album for...

"So simple it doesn't need instructions"24 Jul 2016 | 2:31 amEager (and less-talented) designers often get confused about this instruction, turning it into: "It doesn't have instructions, therefore it's simple.

The alert person, standing under cold water, at 5 in the morning, in a dark hotel room, will probably (???) realize that the bottom dial, all the way near the floor, is actually the one that controls the temperature. The lack of instructions doesn't make something simple. I used to write the manuals for the educational software we shipped in the mid 1980s.

Managing the gap23 Jul 2016 | 1:15 amThere's a space between where you are now and where you want to be, ought to be, are capable of being. A gap between your reality and your possibility. Imagine that space as a gulf or a chasm and you'll become paralyzed, stuck in the current situation. And refuse to see it at all and you'll merely be self-satisfied, and just as stuck. The magic of forward movement is seeing the space as leap-sized, as something that persistent, consistent effort can get you through. The most likely paths are the ones where you can see the steps. Your problem might not be that you're not trying hard enough. It might be that you're seeing the opportunity in the wrong way. �������

Psychology's Six Tips for Killer Confidence (and A Story About A Book)27 Jul 2016 | 7:00 amBy ProBlogger Expert Ellen Jackson. Believe you can and you're half way there Theodore Roosevelt, allegedly. Once upon a time I decided to write and publish a book. I wasn't a writer. I had no experience. I had no contacts in publishing. I had no idea really. I just really thought it would be great to write a book. Fast forward two years and I held in my hand not one copy of my co-authored self-improvement book, but three. One published in the UK and Australia. Another published in the US and a third published in The Netherlands. In Dutch. The path to get to that point was challenging – at times torturous. For months during the writing process I could not enter a bookstore due to the anxiety it...
The Science and Art of Batching to Increase Your Productivity26 Jul 2016 | 7:00 amBy ProBlogger Expert Nicole Avery.

Why My Blog Motto is "Done and Not Perfect"25 Jul 2016 | 7:00 amBy Lisa Corduff. I remember the deadlines at work. Meticulously making sure what I passed to my boss was of the highest quality. I remember expecting so much from myself and my output because there was judgement coming. A "good job" or "fix this up" or "rewrite please". Working to KPI's and other people's expectations means you are always striving to over-deliver. For a pay-rise, a promotion, a great project. You know the drill. When I entered the world of blogging it all felt so random. Some might say 'freeing' but I missed the glance over my work from someone who knew more than me. This actually slowed me right down. I never thought anything was good enough. So I rarely posted. I was...

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Pre-Orders Could Start September 9th27 Jul 2016 | 9:21 pmOver the weekend well-known mobile phone leaker Evan Blass predicted that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus would release the week of September 12. A short time later, he predicted that it should launch on Friday, September 16. Today, Blass has followed up and reported that pre-orders would take place on Friday, September 9. Apple typically announces the newest iPhone a couple days before pre-orders start. With September 5 being Labor Day, it's likely Tuesday, September 6 would be the day of Apple's iPhone 7 event.

Australian Banks Challenge Apple Over Mobile Payment App Restrictions27 Jul 2016 | 3:39 amThree of Australia's biggest banks have lodged a joint application with anti-trust regulators to negotiate with Apple over gaining access to the NFC-based mobile payment hardware in its smartphones (via Reuters). Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank (NAB), and Westpac have so far resisted signing deals to use the company's Apple Pay mobile payment system, because they want their customers to be able to use digital wallets they have already financed and developed. However, none of the banks want to be accused of violating anti-competition law by negotiating deals, which is where the application comes in. If the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) lets the banks...

But I really think you should give Pokemon Go a try and I'll explain why. What is Pokemon Go? If you've ever heard of the video game / card game / cartoon / multi billion dollar franchise that is Pokemon, it's about a bunch of trainers who catch and train wild creatures in little balls so that they can battle each other (not bloody, but more like sporting).

Five Good Dishes – Make Your Business Smarter6 Jul 2016 | 8:30 amOur friend James showed us the wonderful independent bookstore, McNally Jackson while we were in New York recently.

I loved the store because it wasn't selling every book. It sold books it thought would challenge you or feed you or make your mind better. And that showed.

We Are All Foreigners26 Jun 2016 | 5:20 amThe recent vote for Britain to depart the European Union came with a tall side order of hate, racism, and fear. Your first reaction will probably mirror mine: deplorable. And it is. But there's more to it. Hate Comes From Fear This kind of hate, anyway, is the stuff of fear. The people most affected by any economic or political changes are those who are struggling to survive. No matter what the change is, it hits those who are the least stable in their lives and situations. When you see lots and lots of reports of people in Britain shouting "Go back to Poland," my guess is that it comes from people who aren't getting enough to eat, or who have to decide whether to pay for medicine or heat.Continue...

Blogging Isn't Dead6 Jun 2016 | 6:37 amYou can read (ironically) a blog post every day or so telling you that blogging is dead. They tell you to write into Facebook notes or into Medium or anywhere but on your own blog. They tell you that no one visits blogs any more. And whoever "they" is have lost tons and tons of opportunities over and over again while shifting between platforms while giving you that advice. Blogging Is Not Dead Blogging is alive and well. People create content of varying levels of value every day. There are dozens and dozens of posts created on some sites each day while other people have switched to a weekly frequency.

But is no one knocking down your door asking for your expertise? Are prospects unaware of how you're able to help them clearly and concisely communicate their thoughts? Why would that be the case? Most likely it's because your online presence doesn't actually sell your writing services. If potential clients don't know you're a "pen for hire," or the type of "pen for hire" you are, how can they purchase your services? Let's look at four places writers tend to leave...

3 Simple Ways to Bust Stereotypes and Craft a Remarkable Message25 Jul 2016 | 6:00 amOn the snowy, northeastern Christmas of my 11th year, our parents gathered all five kids around the kitchen table to deliver the news. We were moving to San Antonio, Texas. I was devastated. Texas? I imagined what our new home would look like. We'd be miles from any neighbors — who would all look like they walked straight off the "Hee Haw" set — with a dusty, rock-filled front yard punctuated by the occasional tumbleweed rolling by. If only I had access to online content back in those days, I wouldn't have been terrified at all by the silly stereotypes I believed to be true. Here's the thing — our customers are terrified, too. They're operating based on stereotypes, fears, and misconceptions. But...

Podcast 518: Zany Bob Mansfield's Apple Car Emporium27 Jul 2016 | 3:24 pmAnother big traffic sign just appeared, pointing straight the Apple Car: Longtime Apple executive Bob Mansfield is reportedly now in charge of Project Titan, which is the code-name for the Apple Car. That's great news if you are eager to see this thing really happen, although the rumor does come along with a new ship estimation of 2021. Hopefully this won't be one of those things that's always five years down the road. Elsewhere, Yahoo was sold to Verizon, and we have opinions.

Apple has sold 1 billion iPhones27 Jul 2016 | 2:07 pmApple announced on Wednesday that the company has sold 1 billion iPhones. That's a huge milestone, but its timing is strangely awkward. Tim Cook told employees in Cupertino that the billionth iPhone was sold last week, but this announcement comes just one day after Apple's Q3 2016 saw disappointing iPhone sales, declining to 40.4 million units sold, from 47.5 million in the year-ago quarter."Last week we passed another major milestone when we sold the billionth iPhone," Cook said in a press release. "We never set out to make the most, but we've always set out to make the best products that make a difference. Thank you to everyone at Apple for helping change the world every day."To read this...

IoT and its applications: Connecting you, your home and your town27 Jul 2016 | 3:00 pmThe Internet of Things (IoT) is massive, and getting bigger by the day. As new applications come to light for these sensor-driven networked technologies, our world will become increasingly connected, and more autonomous. IoT is the virtual Wild West of the technology world. Since it can include just about every "thing" we interact with on a day-to-day basis, the potential for new applications is boundless. In a largely uncharted category of technology, one thing is absolutely certain, that the world as we know it is changing. Smart home automation Your home may already have several IoT devices in it. Many modern thermostats connect to the Internet and enable you to control them from your smartphone or...
5 key technologies of a smart city27 Jul 2016 | 2:00 pmPeople are increasingly migrating from rural to urban areas. By 2050, about 86 percent of people in developed countries and 64 percent of people in developing countries are expected to live in cities. Because cities will absorb future population growth, it is crucial to use resources more efficiently. How will smart city technology make the urbanization process as smooth as possible? 1. Smart energy Smart energy systems will monitor and control energy usage to more efficiently manage and conserve energy. Cisco estimates that cities that run on information can improve their energy efficiency by 30 percent within 20 years. By using renewable energy sources, manage water supply and have a waste management...
Will Jiobit's tiny hardware turn wearables into "invisibles"?27 Jul 2016 | 1:00 pmJiobit's new chip for tiny devices uses cloud-based machine learning in its quest to shrink wearables so much they become "invisibles." Yahoo! explores the device-shrinking strategy of the Chicago-based startup, which has been operating in stealth mode for nearly a year. And as wearables proliferate across the world, miniaturization and improved battery life become an increasing priority. Jiobit's new chips are looking to miniaturize connected devices to the point where they are so small that users forget they're wearing them, hence "invisibles." On top of this the company aims to extend battery life from current devices that use energy hogging sensors so that recharging is only done a couple...
EU, Japan to connect for faster autonomous car rollout27 Jul 2016 | 10:00 amThe Japanese government has announced a plan to connect its global positioning system with the European Union's Galileo to speed the deployment of autonomous cars in both regions. It follows some Japanese firms complaining that the Quasi-Zenith satellite system (QZSS) is incapable of working for consumers outside of Japan, because it is unable to speak in a common digital language. That will change with the Galileo partnership, letting the satellite communicate with the EU's 30 satellite constellation that spans the globe. See Also: Japan and Germany allying over IoT standard Once connected, Japanese automakers will be able to install autonomous tech in cars that work with satellites across the world....
Sylvania shines a light on smart tech27 Jul 2016 | 9:45 amA new report issued by LEDVANCE, a lighting company that sells Sylvania lightbulbs, gives valuable insight about the smart technology that people have already deployed in their homes.

The Illusion Of Life: An SVG Animation Case Study26 Jul 2016 | 2:57 am��With flat design becoming the ever visible trend of 2016, it's clear why there's been a resurgence in SVG usage. The benefits are many: resolution-independence, cross-browser compatibility and accessible DOM nodes. In this article, we'll take a look at how we can use SVGs to create seemingly complex animations from simple illustrations. This project began as a simple thought experiment: How far can we push SVG animation? At the time, designer Chris Halaska and I were colleagues working on an illustration-heavy campaign website. While aesthetically pleasing, the designs lacked the required "oomph" that all creatives search for.The post The Illusion Of Life: An SVG Animation Case Study...
Testing Credit-Card Numbers In E-Commerce Checkouts (Cheat Sheet)25 Jul 2016 | 2:44 am��As a developer, I work a lot with e-commerce websites and, as a result, with a lot of payment gateways. I'm fortunate that I get to work on many different projects for different clients, each with its own unique challenges. I have, therefore, found myself working with a lot of different payment gateways over the years, from the more familiar ones like PayPal and Stripe to some lesser known ones. While I love the variety of my work, I generally find working with payment gateways to be frustrating. I'm sure I'm not alone in this opinion! For many payment gateways, the documentation is poorly written, lengthy and, at times, difficult to find.The post Testing Credit-Card Numbers In E-Commerce...

The Aesthetic Of Non-Opinionated Content Management: A Beginner's Guide To ProcessWire22 Jul 2016 | 1:05 am��Systems for managing content are more often than not rather opinionated. For example, most of them expect a certain rigid content structure for inputting data and then have a specific engraved way of accessing and outputting that data, whether or not it makes sense. Additionally, they rarely offer effective tools to break out of the predefined trails if a case requires it. ProcessWire is a content management system (CMS) distributed under the Mozilla Public License version 2.0 (MPL) and MIT License. It is designed from the ground up to tackle the issues caused by exactly this kind of opinionatedness (which, inevitably, results in frustrated developers and users) by being — you guessed it —...

It's Guest Blog Wednesday featuring Monica Carvalho!27 Jul 2016 | 12:01 amToday, I would like to invite you to a journey through the surreal photomontages I create to confuse people… All the photos I use in my compositions are from my own portfolio (holidays, trips, family, friends, myself), except from a few space images I took from Google (like planet Earth and galaxies). My method of work is quite random; I have all these pictures I took and I try to combine them in a cool, surreal way. I especially love creating images that distort the actual sizes of things, for instance my miniature mum waterskiing in a coffee cup… …and my cousin skateboarding on a miniature Switzerland (where I'm from). I also love playing with the materiality of things, i.e. my white...
How to (a) Turn Your Photo into an Oil Painting (b) Add More Depth (c) And Add a Canvas Texture26 Jul 2016 | 12:16 amHappy Tuesday everybody. I know you probably already know about the Oil Paint filter, but while I use it in this tutorial, this tutorial is really about the 2nd and 3rd things — things that take the effect up a notch, by adding more depth to the paint strokes (using a different filter), and then adding a Canvas texture to the entire image (using yet another filter). Luckily, it's all easy and quick to do. I made a quick tutorial for you (below) that shows how easy it is. :) x https://youtu.be/mdh8ZiB2zLk Hope you found that helpful. :) Best, -Scott P.S.

Wrap Up Gallery From Photoshop World. Next Stop: Orlando in 201725 Jul 2016 | 12:16 amI know I say this every time, but it's because our goal is to make every Photoshop World better than the last one, and I heard it for three-solid days from Alumni — in their words, "This is the best Photoshop World yet!" Of course, I was thrilled to agree! All the new instructors (joining our 'dream team' of existing industry superstars) and the new events and shooting opportunities all brought a ton of energy to the event, and everybody was talking about it. It was also the first Photoshop World ever, where Adobe had their own training track at the conference, and their Adobe Mobile Apps track was another hit from the Vegas conference.

Tips for Taking Candid Portraits of People27 Jul 2016 | 12:00 pmGet Andrew's ebook The Candid Portrait at 43% off, now over at Snapndeals, for a limited time only (August 9, 2016 AUS time). A candid portrait is often defined as one which you take without the subject being aware that you have done so. The idea is to capture a natural moment, that shows the person's character or something interesting about them. Wedding and portrait photographers often strive to capture candid portraits, so do street photographers. It is the latter form of candid portrait photography that I will concentrate on in this article. I prefer to take candid portraits when I am travelling, it is rare that I do so at home. There is something about the excitement of travelling and seeing a new...
Don't Delete Your Failed Images – Instead Learn from Your Mistakes with These Tips27 Jul 2016 | 7:00 amI know you've done it. It's okay to admit it. I've done it too! We all have! You've shot some terrible photographs. Perhaps you shot the whole time in the wrong white balance, or you didn't pay attention to shutter speed and everything is blurry. When this happens it's incredibly disappointing. Frustrated and angry with yourself, you consider the experience a write-off, and delete the images. Then you head for the snack cupboard searching for some kind of solace. But, everyone makes mistakes when they shoot, even professionals. There are times when we get excited and forget to check our settings, or make sure we are using the right lens for the right moment. It happens. We were canoeing and in...
How to Use Upright Guided Tools in Lightroom's New Transform Section26 Jul 2016 | 12:00 pmIn their latest release of Lightroom 6.6 (or CC 2015.6 if you are using the Creative Cloud subscription package), Adobe has added a new feature, allowing us photographers to straighten our images even easier than before. The image above is a typical example of a photo that can use some straightening. A tall building, shot from the ground, will always look tilted or skewed (unless you have the budget to buy a tilt-shift lens, designed to overcome these issues right in camera). The latest update of Lightroom comes with a new Transform section For these purposes, Adobe Lightroom had already offered an Upright feature within the Lens Corrections tab in its Develop module. In the newest version 6.6/CC 2015.6,...
How to Use Your On-Camera Speedlight to do Bounce Flash Effectively26 Jul 2016 | 7:00 amAn on-camera flash (or speedlight) is the tool many photographers own, but few know how to use. Every day I see this amazing piece of equipment go to waste, slamming harsh light into a subject, when it could be caressing it with soft, directional illumination. The flash is a sculptor's chisel, not a sledgehammer. You just need to know some basic technique. In the 400-plus weddings I've photographed over the years, much of what I shoot indoors is lit with a speedlight. I have a trunk full of studio lights that I'll set up and use sometimes at events, but more often than not, I end up preferring the photos from my little on-camera flash (not to be confused with the built-in one). You can create...
5 Tips for Getting Started with Wildlife Photography for Beginners25 Jul 2016 | 12:00 pmThere is just something about the natural world that seems to touch us humans to the very core of our being, especially when it involves wildlife of any form. When we hear the words "wildlife photography", wide open planes of the African Savannah with herds of zebras, wildebeests and antelope come to mind. But that is just one part of the natural world pie! Don't get me wrong, visiting Africa and going on safari are really high on my bucket list of places to visit and things to photograph, but I get equally excited when I am hiking in a national park that is frequented by bears, bison, eagles and pronghorn deer. There are several brilliant wildlife photographers out there, and every image they produce has...

Fuji Crystal Archive Deep Matte Paper is Freaking Amazing4 Apr 2016 | 9:11 amThat's me, above, in 2013. I made a trip to Japan for some meetings with Fuji. I was there with three other photogs and a room of Fuji engineers for two solid days of "How can we make our cameras better?" discussions. Because that's how they do.One of the highlights of the trip was seeing my work displayed at Corporate HQ at Fujifilm Square in Tokyo. (Pic, above, by Zack Arias.) One of the lowlights was realizing how much better these prints were than anything I could get done in the US. Sigh.I just assumed it was some sort of Fuji in-house magic file tweaking or something. Or more likely, Fuji's continuous custody of the whole vertical process, right back to the film SIM. Then it happened again in the 5th...
On Assignment: Leaf and a Dish22 Mar 2016 | 9:05 amAs photographers, we often have to do outdoor portraits.

Microsoft Pix aims to capture better people pictures27 Jul 2016 | 11:35 amMicrosoft has released a new camera app that puts its focus on taking better pictures of people. The Pix app is now available for iPhone and iPad, and Microsoft says an Android version is in the works. When active the app is constantly recording and saves 10 frames before and after its shutter button is pressed. A series of algorithms then analyzes the recorded images, evaluating technical quality characteristics, such as sharpness or exposure, but also looking at facial expressions of human subjects. Based on those characteristics among others, the app then selects three best shots and presents them to the user. The filtered shots are discarded to save space, but not before the image information...
Xiaomi Redmi Pro offers dual-cam and OLED technology at budget price point27 Jul 2016 | 10:59 amChinese electronics manufacturer Xiaomi has today announced the latest model in its affordable Redmi line of smartphones. Looking at the device's body materials and specifications it would not look out of place in the company's flagship Mi series, though.� In the imaging department the Redmi Pro features a dual-camera setup that combines a 13MP Sony IMX258 1/3.06" sensor with a 5MP Samsung depth sensor. The dual-cam does not offer any optical zoom capability, like on the LG G5, nor does it combine the captured image information from both sensors for improved image quality, like on the Huawei P9. Instead, it uses the dual-camera to simulate the bokeh of a fast lens on a large-sensor camera, something...

Rock Solid: Canon 1D X Mark II Review27 Jul 2016 | 6:57 amThe EOS-1D X Mark II is Canon's newest flagship DSLR aimed at pro-level photographers. A quick glance reveals the camera's 1D-series heritage, but under the hood there are some exciting upgrades going on. The 1D X II is built around a new 20.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, now with Canon's Dual Pixel autofocus system, includes an expanded 61-point autofocus system with 24% more coverage and a 360,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor, and is one of the first Canon DSLRs (other than the somewhat niche 1D C) that captures 4K video.

Greetings from Photoshop World!18 Jul 2016 | 9:20 amMornin' everybody, and a big "howdy" from out in Vegas – today is "Pre-Conference" day where we host optional in-depth workshops all over town, and me and the crew are getting everything ready for Adobe's big keynote tomorrow morning (which I believe we are streaming live – more on that to come). Anyway, if you've ever wondered what it would look like if you took an iPhone and shot through heavy window film in a hotel room 60 or so floors up from the strip…well, look up above for an example. LOL! It's going to be pretty light week here on the blog, as I'm busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest during Photoshop World, but we'll be sharing lots of pics over on my Facebook page. I hope...
Some Lightroom Mobile Features That Snuck Past The Goalie15 Jul 2016 | 1:16 amWhenever there's a new version of anything, a few features steal the spotlight — like Lightroom's Mobile's new Graduated and Radial Fills local adjustments, and of course the ability to edit RAW images from your DSLR — that's all pretty much anybody wants to talk about, but there are some other nice little tweaks that made their way into this latest update, that aren't flashy, but are awfully welcome. Things like: (1) The ability to apply a Lens Correction Profile You do this by backing out to the Collections View, then click on the LR icon up top to bring out the left side panel. Then, go down to "import" to bring up this window and you can see here (circled in red) the toggle switch to turn this...

Big update for Lightroom Mobile, including the ability to edit RAW images from your DSLR or Mirrorless cameras. Hear it straight from the source as we had Josh Haftel, Adobe's Lightroom Mobile Product Manager, in for this exclusive interview and first look at the new features.

'Microsoft Pix' for iOS Introduces Smart AI to Automatically Adjust Photos27 Jul 2016 | 7:07 amMicrosoft today launched a new camera app for iOS devices called Microsoft Pix, which uses an artificial intelligence to adjust settings, choose the best photos, and automatically enhance each picture you take. The app will work on the iPhone 5s or newer, running iOS 9.0 or newer, with the company planning an Android release in the future. It did, however, remain curiously silent on introducing the new app's features into its own Windows Phone line. In order to obtain the very best image, Microsoft Pix takes a burst of shots before and after the image capture shutter button is tapped, similar to holding down the button for a burst shot in Apple's first party camera app. The new app goes one step further,...
Xiaomi Announces 'Redmi Pro' Smartphone With 5.5-Inch OLED Display and Dual-Lens Camera27 Jul 2016 | 5:34 amChinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi today announced a new smartphone, called the Redmi Pro, during an event in Beijing, China, where it also surprised attendees with the 'Mi Notebook Air'. As TechCrunch pointed out, the company's Redmi line of smartphone devices angle toward the low-cost spectrum of handsets, with most models costing around $150, allowing the company to move over 110 million models in the last three years. A few additions to the Redmi Pro place it on the higher-end of that spectrum, since the new smartphone is the first in the Redmi family to have an OLED display, a larger 5.5-inch screen, and -- perhaps most notably -- pack in a dual-camera system. Specifically, the two lenses are...

As I mentioned a month or so ago, PO exchange guidelines have been modified slightly and are now if effect. From now on, if order to participate in an exchange on this board, you need the overall 300 posts and 3 months membership that we've followed for a while PLUS you need 50 of those posts to be on this board (birth boards will require 100 posts).
The point of this new rule to be sure a board has a chance to get to know a person and develop a tiny bit of trust/relationship before info is exchanged.
I've already checked all the card swap participants (just to see, not that I would kick anyone off at this point of the swap) and everyone had at least 60 posts, so we are good. Charys is checking the train as well.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

This is the best ping pong / table tennis shot I have ever seen. Based on the look of the guy who got beaten on the point, he hadn't ever seen anything like this either. In the immediate aftermath of the shot, there is a brief moment where he maybe wants the shot to be called illegal. Then he just accepts that he had something awesome happen against him, so he applauds the shot. If there was ever actual cause for one of those excessive ping pong celebrations, this shot is it.

Hello I wrote this program to reformat information in a file so that it was separated by commas instead of the delimiter it had which was '|', now that I did that I want to create another function that uses the information this reformatted to write certain information from the file using indexes into a dictionary, my problem is actually doing it because I always try and use a for loop and its not working. I am having a bit of trouble understanding how to use the dictionary, it seemed simple but how do I access the information output to a dictionary, does it create, or do I have to create an output file where that information goes?
def dicList():
dictList = csv.reader(open('C:/Python/data.txt', 'rb'))
for row in dictList:
newRow= ' '.join(row)
listOne = newRow.replace('|',',')
Another minor thing, this function out puts the values like this
without the quotes, so it doesn't output as a list which is what I would like, and I can't figure out how to make that happen as well.
What I am trying to do overall is write the dictionary so I can match values against it from another file, and the reason I am using this method is because the files are HUGE so I couldn't just run them against each other for matches. What I was hoping is using this dictionary to run the values in my other file to output matches into another. I can clarify if it doesn't make sense.
Let me clarify a bit more the information I have is in a file, the information is output into that file as "data,data,data", now I have the info in a list through the function
def dicList():
dictList = csv.reader(open('C:/Python/hashsetsdotcom_data.txt', 'rb'), delimiter = '|')
for row in dictList:
print row[0], row[2]
the two values I print here are the ones I want to have in the dictionary as key,value, but I want it to iterate through the whole file which is something like 8 million lines, and I wanna be able to use this data to run another file, which is in relation to this one, and pull values from there to match that against the dictionary value and then after output those matched values into another. So in the end I will have
"Key,Value" ---- with "Match" from another file.
I should've been more clear but didn't realize how specific I should have been.
Here's where my code is now, I am having trouble trying to match data values in another text file with the values from the dictionary, this is possible correct? To iterate through the file where I have such values and run the script to check if they match the dictionary values, and then output all three like I try and do in my last function?
def dicList():
dictList = csv.reader(open('C:/data.txt', 'rb'), delimiter = '|')
for row in dictList:
print row[0], row[2]
def dictAppend():
output = []
fhand = open('C:/Python/lex.txt', 'w')
for row in dicList():
one_entity = {row[0]:row[2]}
def findMatch():
fhand = open('C:/Python/search.sql', 'r')
fig = open('C:/Python/lex.txt', 'w')
for line in fhand:
if line[1] == dictAppend()[0]:
fig.write(dictAppend()[0], dictAppend[1], line[13])

Vital Statistics
Marriage Certificate and Proof of Marriage
What is the marriage registration form?The marriage commissioner, judge, justice of the peace, prothonotary or religious representative who performs the wedding ceremony will assist in completing the Marriage Registration form. The personal information on this form is usually completed in advance of the wedding ceremony. This is the legal document that both of you and your witnesses will sign at the end of the ceremony. It is also signed by your officiant.
It is the officiant's responsibility to ensure the form is completed accurately. Within seven days of the marriage, the officiant must provide the completed statement to the Vital Statistics Office to ensure that a marriage is legally registered in the province.
What is the solemnization of marriage certificate?A memento certificate is provided to you by the officiant at the conclusion of the ceremony. This signed Certificate of Solemnization of Marriage names the parties and the date and place of the marriage. It is not legal proof of marriage.
You must apply for a Marriage Certificate through Vital Statistics as legal proof of marriage.
What is a marriage certificate?A marriage certificate is issued by a provincial/territorial Vital Statistics Office after the marriage has been registered. It is the legal document for proof of marriage that contains:
- full names of the individuals,
- birthdates and birth places,
- date of marriage,
- place of marriage,
- marriage registration number
- date of registration
A marriage certificate can only be issued from the province where your marriage is registered (where you got married).
How do I obtain a marriage certificate?At your marriage licence appointment, you will be asked if you would like to apply for a marriage certificate. The certificate will be sent to you following the wedding ceremony and registration of your marriage. If you choose not to apply at that time, you may apply using the application below. Applications are not accepted by fax or email.
Who can apply for a marriage certificate?
- a person named on the certificate
- a parent whose name appears on the registration from which the certificate is to be issued
- a spouse of a person whose name apperars on the registration from which the certificate is to be issued
- a person on the authorization, in writing, of the person named in the certificate or of the parents or spouse of the person named in the certificate;

A certified true copy of registration of marriage is a copy of the record (registration of marriage form) you signed at the wedding ceremony, in the presence of your witnesses. It contains detailed information about the marriage and signatures of both parties, witnesses and the officiant. It is the document your Officiant submitted to Vital Statistics to legally register your marriage. For this purpose, the Registration of Marriage Form is printed on secure stock and certified to be a true copy.
